The Human Spacesuit!

Perhaps the bee is
Satisfied,
just with flowers and pollen and the sweetness of honey-

I wonder what the challenge of life is
For the hippo
Or

What there is beyond the web
That the spider
Dreams of?

Does the goldfish think of life outside the pond?

I Know the eagle can soar-
But
Where does it really want to go?

Yes the elephant can remember
But
How much can it learn?

Yet
One
Creature
Similar in flesh, with heartbeat and blood and mind-
Yet
This
Creature
Is
Unique
From all other creatures-
It wants to rule the entire world!

This being called human is in a pressurized spacesuit!
Vulnerable to pressure, heat and cold.
This suit
Last a lifetime for each person.
For all
It
Wears out.

We look similar to monkeys
And can even use pig’s hearts to replace our own’¦
But this being can:
Love
Dream
Create
Fly
Dive
Learn
And even contact God!

This human in a spacesuit can even have conversations with God.
Yet
Is so fragile we must eat and drink every few hours
Sleep at least one third of its life
And breathe air every minute!

This human spacesuit comes
In
Only
Two models-
Male and female

Wonderful and glorious they are-
Yet
They have learned to
Lie
Kill
War
Hate
Become selfish
And greedy.

So bad indeed till it seemed God almost gave up…
But No
God
Became flesh!
Became one of us
Our own Creator became as the creation.
The Word became flesh

Jesus!

Walked with us
Taught us
Showed us
Loved us
Then was crucified by us!

But then was raised by the Father from the grave after three days
Stayed on earth a few weeks
Went up into heaven to help us and send the Holy Spirit to be with us.

We in our spacesuits are
Physical yet spiritual
Human but spirit

God made contact
Jesus saves
We get redeemed
Heaven awaits us
For only God can fill the heart, mind and spirit and soul of humankind.

Only God
Can water the rich soil
And
Grow us up
To
Be
Beautiful
Fruitful
Creative
And
Fulfilled

Thank you Jesus!
